For someone not well versed with the terminology, can someone please tell what kind of bitrate this can provide? In bytes per second.
Or 31.25 million bytes per second if you prefer.
This would be for a point to point terrestrial link. OFDM probably wouldn't work for EME (at any power level).

It's not even a byte per second. The latency of the distances involved mean you're looking at around two seconds per round trip, plus a little extra because of the fuzziness of radio in space and absolutely everything that can distort it. There's a lot of math that goes into selecting the right bit-width for the signal, which I ain't doing here and now [0], but most 24dB things tend to be 32bit for reasons. The array…
Thank you so much. Are these rough calculations based on the smallest (quad), mini or the large array?
Point-to-point on the Earth would actually be semi-decent, as another comment pointed out.

No, if you do the math it's about 40 bytes per second (300bps) for Earth-Moon-Earth using their 240-antenna array.
It's 1.3 to 1.6 seconds each way to the moon, by radio link.
JPL's much, much, much bigger arrays can only achieve 64kbps.

Care to share the math, if you've done it? It's 1.3 to 1.6 seconds each way to the moon, by radio link. JPL's much, much, much bigger arrays can only achieve 64kbps.
KA1GT recently found a $100 “solar cooker” dish on AliExpress. Also available on Amazon. It was tested back in August. Announced on the EME Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19zLsGZiE7/?mibextid=wwXIfr Output power was 500w

I dont get it, How does latency affect bandwidth here?
